The perfect introduction to Alsace: the Hugel Gentil revives an ancient Alsace tradition of blending all of their noble grape varieties - the suave, spicy flavour of Gewurztraminer, the body of Pinot Gris, the finesse of Riesling, the grapiness of Muscat and the refreshing character of Sylvaner. This has a glorious open bouquet of fruit, flowers and spice: cardamom, rose, lime, lychee, pear - the list could go on... Rich and aromatic, yet dry on the palate, this would be a perfect companion to a range of typically difficult-to-match Thai and Indian dishes.
